The .NET Framework offers a number of advantages to developers.

Consistent Programming Model - With .NET accessing data with a VB .NET and a C# .NET looks very similar apart from slight syntactical differences. Both the programs need to import the System. Data namespace, both the programs establish a connection with the database and both the programs run a query and display the data on a data grid.

The .NET example explains that there's a unified means of accomplishing the same task by using the .NET Class Library, a key component of the .NET Framework. The functionality that the .NET Class Library provides is available to all .NET languages resulting in a consistent object model regardless of the programming language the developer uses.

Direct Support for Security - When an application accesses data on a remote machine or has to perform a privileged task on behalf of a nonprivileged user, security issue becomes important as the application is accessing data from a remote machine. With .NET, the Framework enables the developer and the system administrator to specify method level security.

It uses industry-standard protocols such as TCP/IP, XML, SOAP and HTTP to facilitate distributed application communications. This makes distributed computing more secure because .NET developers cooperate with network security devices instead of working around their security limitations.
